Babylon 5 Redux?

Meryl brings word that Babylon 5 may be making a comeback. I started watching "B5" because it was the only well-mixed Dolby pro-logic series on TV at the time (ST:TNG was good, but the sound sucked ass). I stayed because the characters were cool and the stories were interesting. I even got Ellen hooked on it, which lead to this somewhat surreal exchange (after, oh, about 3-4 glasses of wine):

Ellen: "Yeah, that Sheridan guy is ok I guess. But I like that other one..."

Me: "Garibaldi?"

Ellen: "No no no. The other one. The one with the funny eyes."

Me: "Lennier?"

Ellen: "No goddammit!" [scene changes on TV] "Him"

Me: "G'Kar?!?"

Ellen: "Yeah. I like him. I think he's sexy."

At which point I took away the wine. Well, more likely I probably just drank it.

Where was I... oh, yeah... anyway, while not quite on the level of Farscape (which didn't get a nice neat ending like B5 did), this is still worth watching.

Actually, it's pretty easy to see why women would like G'Kar. He looks like an alien savage, fights like a berzerker, and speaks with a cultured Shakespearean accent. Want a guy who can protect you from damn near anything, and yet acts like a gentleman and romances you with beautiful poetry readings? G'Kar is the Narn for you.

Don't you mean "funny eye"? ;)
